Default FM Modulator

Kinda odd question I know, but....

Whats the best way to improve the quality of a FM modulator (to virtually eliminate the hisses and etc)?

Any ideas?

In my experience, there really is no way to get a super clean reception. That's the nature of the beast of FM modulators... but you could try (if the device is capable) using a LOWER band to tune in, down in the 88.1 or LOWER (my iTrip was capable of going down to 87.9) range. Obviously the best bet would be to hard wire... They make kits for almost any radio these days...
I hope that helps.

I most likely can use a lower band in that range, I will try that

Any good line-in kits for the stock mach 460 sound system?

Thanks!

The best way to clean it up is make sure it is tuned to an unused channel. That will prolly be the best you can make it. What kind are you talking about, the kind that plugs directely into the antenna, or the one that broadcasts and is picked up on a certain channel.
